I believe that the Pilot Handbook states gross weight of 1800--
However, on trips I am at 1900-1950 and see very little change in
performance and control.

Speaking with a few owners, most of them have operated in the 1800-1900lb range, at least out of airports where runway length was not a factor. 

If I understand correctly, the published figure is 1685lbs. I'm curious how that number was derived, and what I should be on the lookout for when exceeding that weight.

I know that when I took my first demo ride 2 weeks ago, we were around 1750lbs, and climbing out at 1500fpm on what was pretty close to a standard day.

What maximum figure would you use for a 360?
